Digging deeper on the IEA Roadmap news reported earlier, this historically fossil industry friendly leading Energy Analysis Agency has called for the end of fossil energy use by 2050, the end of any new fossil project investments NOW, 100% EV sales by 2035, and a four-fold increase in the deployment of solar and wind power by 2030.
The below is a quote from the above linked article showing how clear thinking even formerly fossil supporting leaders now realize the urgency of the situation — let’s hope MIT’s board and administration will realize the same and revise their misguided ‘end no fossil’ new Climate Plan ASAP:

“Beyond projects already committed as of 2021, there are no new oil and gas fields approved for development in our pathway, and no new coal mines or mine extensions are required,” it said.
Dave Jones, an analyst at the energy think tank Ember, said the report’s recommendation mark a turnaround from the IEA’s past position and were “truly a knife into the fossil fuel industry.”
